She's not banned and never has been... Though her IP was caught up when I broke things!

I'm not sure why she's having issues but it's not because we've banned her!!! And there was never any chance that we would mistake her for BadgersBum because of the contraction of their names!!!

It's possible that I missed a range of IPs when I fixed the issue the last time, and her internet connection has picked up a "banned" IP (almost all Internet service providers use "dynamic" addressing, so they change. But I need to know what IP address she's on, that's banned. As the ban list is huge.

That would match up with my suspicion that there's a range of IP addresses that I missed when I unblocked the others. However the IP ban list is HUGE and I have no way to find out what it is.

BusyBee, I'm really sorry this is still happening to you. It's in no way intentional on my part (or that of the other mods). If you know how to access your router then log in and look for the IP address the next time it happens and send it over to Pepper, so I can fix it permanently!

Virtually every time I look in I have to log on again with my security details even though I tick the bow "automatically log me in each time I visit.I am assuming the fault is with my PC as it is quite old running Vista, I have not altered my cookie settings

I'm accessing the site on an I-pad. Since Friday when the site disappeared I have only been able to access the coffee shop threads. If I try to access the kitchen threads all I get is the sleeping robot.

I've deleted my shortcut to Wildfood but still get this issue. I can access the kitchen threads on my phone, so it must be something to do with the iPad. Any ideas???

That wouldn't be a caching issue, it sounds like your browser is either clearing the login cookie every couple of days or it's becoming corrupted. Both would be on your computer though nothing to do with our side.

Are you entering the site via a link in Google chrome? If so I had the same issue with my iPad and to solve it I deleted the Chrome icon and reinstalled it. Works perfectly now.

You know those emails you get when someone sends you a Private Message? Don't delete them all ... I keep a few in a folder where I can find them ... when the site has been down and the sleeping robot has been around, if your short cut links still keep going straight to him, find one of those emails and click on the link contained therein ... works for me

Hi Mods and everyone ... my cousin is trying to join Wildfood but it seems that her Yahoo email address is not acceptable ... please can you let me know which of the more easily obtainable ones will do the job so that she can open a new email account with them and become a Wildie

You can change your email address in the User Control Panel. Choose the "Profile" tab and then go to the "edit account settings" in the sidebar.

I think this changes your registration info for when you need to log in again. But, I can't say for certain because Yahoo addresses are banned for new registrations. I think it will be OK to change later as there is no check. Yahoo addresses are the choice of spammers which is why it was banned.

No, it won’t let me change to a yahoo account. I still have the hotmail account but very rarely check it. I was just a bit worried about Wildfood going down, and having no contact. No worries, if I lose you, I can always try via FB.

Since the snoring robot episode G mail keeps putting wildfood e mail notifications into the Spam box. I have gone into the webmail twice and marked it 'Not Spam'. A G mail issue I expect, is there anything else to be done? I expect it will sort itself out sooner or later.

I set up the “subscribe to topic”. Since then I have received an email when your new posts are made, but I don’t get an email when I mak3 posts in the same thread. Obviously I don’t need notifying when I have made a post, but I was interested that the software knew this.

Make sure that you open the email messages rather than just deleting them and going to Wildfood. If you delete them unopened, emails from that sender will be recognised and treated as spam next time they arrive.

I recently deleted all cookies on my iPad. No problems, but I’m finding it hard to see Wildies posts now - they’re a bit too small. I’ve been in to iPad settings etc.

I’d forgotten, and have just re-seen the little text size button at the top of each Wildfood page. I’ve used it before, and think it’s great, but I thought I could set it to stay that size permanently. Is there any way for me to do that, pls?

That happened to me on MacBookAir a couple of weeks ago, it seems to have sorted itself out now. Also e mails were in such a tiny font that they were barely readable. I'd guess an update. I changed a few settings which helped. I know nothing about computers so am not a reliable advisor. I must do a back-up before this laptop collapses...

Does 'Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached' when I try to attach a photo mean we have limits to how many we can attach? I often get a message to say a photo is too large, so I scale it down, but this is a new one on me.
